To Piggy Back gojade's idea:

"Fake it till you make it" - ...seriously, I was told this in an MLM recruitment/interview meeting. I asked the guy...so are you faking it or have you made it? ....He got awefully quite.

LOL!!! I love that. I'll have to remember that response next time I hear someone say that.

Personally, some of the worst advice I see is people saying, "All you have to do is read free forums and you can learn just as much as you can from any educational program." What a crock. I mean, nothing against free forums, I think they are great, but they're no substitute for some quality training material.

Worst advice... well, my upline, who was a close friend (at the time, and I should say "former" upline) was pretty nasty and insensitive, and if people were having problems or stuck, she would say, "oh - just get over yourself!"

hahaha - she had a lot of attrition in her business (if you can imagine!)

Cheers!

Worst advice:

Make a list of 100 people and talk to all of them about whatever you are marketing.

Worst advice - and from a relative.

"Just sign up, you don't have to do anything but wait for spillover and compression"

Sadly I was so green behind the ears, I didn't even know what he was talking about, so I did just what he advised, paid my monthly fee and waited for something I didn't know anything about to happen. Guess what, it didn't happen.

Even though I find this a bit embarrassing to admit.. it's rather funny now when I look back on it.

This is by and far the WORST advice anyone in an MLM can be given.
Your family knows you best in alot of cases.

Sadly many MLM's promote this in the hopes that their member's reputation are so good they can simply work off of that. Unfortunately when the company goes south so does your reputation.
